• Overwatch host doubles down on praise of male allies in response

A prominent eSports commentator revealed on Thursday that she received "death threats and hundreds of hate messages" in response to a tweet expressing gratitude to men for their support on International Women's Day.

Soe Gschwind-Penski, the Overwatch League host and analyst known as Soembie, had sent a tweet earlier on Thursday offering "a special shoutout to all the men in our lives who have supported us, gave us a voice when we had none, fought for our cause and treated us the way we all ought to treat each other...like a fellow human being - no race, no gender".
